If someone commits suicide from something like that they were most certainly going to kill themselves anyway. You don't just spur of the moment kill yourself. You acquire the tools you need (drugs, gun, razor, rope) and this gives you time to think. Also if you really want to die, you have to plan a good time so no one will stop you.
